Tend to disagree.
The whole purpose of OE is to make it possible for people,
stupid or not, to go off and make things which they would
not be able to do on their own.

As I see it, it is no real drawback of adding this, and at least some 
benefit.

As for not beeing the preferred way, I think that people that engage 
themselves
in a layer should adopt the preferred way.

Anyone seeing a bad layer, applicable only to a small subset of users,
interfering with their build should not be expected
to put a lof of effort into the fix, except reporting it.
Then the mailing list is probably the easiest thing to use.

If this is not there, expect them to send it to the official list.
